+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ 
+ Since Xenial has the following versioning:
+ 
+ 4.1.0+1.46.gb1cdaf7-1ubuntu1
+ 
+ And I don't want to go back on any version (including Debian), I'm using
+ the following versioning:
+ 
+ 4.1.0+1.46.gb1cdaf7-1ubuntu1~trusty
+ 4.1.0+1.46.gb1cdaf7-1ubuntu1~vivid
+ 4.1.0+1.46.gb1cdaf7-1ubuntu1~wily
+ 
+ So they are always superseeded by Xenial version and in between each
+ other.
+ 
+ Idea is that next fixes can be:
+ 
+ 4.1.0+1.46.gb1cdaf7-1ubuntu1~trusty1
+ 4.1.0+1.46.gb1cdaf7-1ubuntu1~vivid1
+ 4.1.0+1.46.gb1cdaf7-1ubuntu1~wily1
+ 
+ And they continue to superseed each other like they have to.
